There is a button in the lower back that pops open the entire bottom plate which dumps the shavings in one second.

There is a button at the bottom of the sharpener for you to empty it. A little door opens and all the debris falls out.

You can open it underneath. But you can't take out if the graphite breaks and then, probably your sharpener will be already broken. I bought one and it worked good for 5 minutes just before this happen. I don't advice anyone on buy it.

There's an oval button on the back by where the cord is plugged in. Push that button and the bottom pops open so that you can empty the sharpener. Be sure you're holding it upside down when you push the button or the shavings will fall out all over you and whatever else is under it!

Keep in mind though you usually have to pay for shipping and handling. If it is broken I would send it in for a warranty but if it just needs to be sharpened I would say just sharpen it yourself, it is really easy

Right where the blade and handle come together as you are looking at the sharpe side the blade to the right side of the blade in the handle there is a small piece with jagged edge on it. You push this slightly to the side towards the handle and it releases the blade to close it. This is very hard to explain on the comment section. It is just a small piece of metal with jagged edge next to the blade you push towards the handle and the blade releases. I hope this helps.

suggest you visit http://www.worksharptools.com/knife/sharpeners/accessories.html you will find 40 & 50deg guide attachments. beyond that (axes & such) you're going to need to bolt the unit to a hold-down, rotate the belt assy forward & freehand.

Mine doesn't ether. The problem seems to be the cutter. As long as I can remember, all pencil sharpeners have two internal cutters. Even when I was in elementary school, they had two cutters. This piece of crap only has one. If you can, return it!

Like with any other pencil sharpener just pick out the wood shavings and save the pigment .to either clump together and use it on a pallete for water color.or disolve in a bottle and use it as a spritzer . Those are a few ideas :)

Don- I bought the same slicer and you need to remove the blade to properly clean. Remove the lock nut for the center plate and remove, remove the sharpener, remove the 3 screws that hold the blade and the blade will come out. That make cleaning much easier. My cleaning ti,mes have gone from 30 minutes down to about 10. Use a anti bacterial whip after all the debris has been removed. do a final wipe down with a clean towel and dry when you are complete and re-assemble

Hi Darlene: The directions are on the back of the package. If you are right handed, hold the sharpener in your left hand with your thumb in the front and your index finger in the back. You will see that there are two circular indentations on each side. Hold the sharpener with the open notch pointing upward. Hold your scissors in your right hand, slip the lower blade into the lower slot, and rest the upper blade in the open notch. Now squeeze the handles together as if you would to cut something and pull toward your scissors towards you at the same time. Insert, squeeze and pull. Repeat that several times. I am left handed and can sharpen my left-handed scissors holding the sharpener in my right hand and the scissors in my left hand and this works for right or left handed scissors. The only time it could get complicated is if you have an older pair of left handed scissors with right-handed blades. In this case you would have to hold the scissors in your right hand and the sharpener in the left hand. And yes, I still have my first pair of left handed Fiskars dressmaking shears from the early 60's, that have right handed blades! After using this sharpener on my oldest pair of Fiskars, it is sharper than my three newer Fiskar dressmaking shears. Okay, so let's say you don't like the squeezing action. There is another way to sharpen the blades. Holding the scissors, open the blades and slip one blade into the lower slot and slide the sharpener back and forward along the blade several times. Flip the scissors over and repeat with the other blade. In this case you are not moving the scissors, but simply the sharpener, sliding it to and fro. You will see that the scissor blades are cut at an angle and the ceramic pin is inserted at an angle. So align the angle of your blade with the angle of the ceramic pin. I hope this helps. E-me back and let me know how you do. - Angela

In front if the sharpener, there's a rigid part. You press that part, then on both the back and the front of the dark blue part. then pull apart from the transparent blue part. Then it's open. I hope this helps.

The method I use is the worksharp electric sharpener. In the field I may use a crock box with ceramic rods or a regular stone sharpener

I take the back part of the slicer off (the section used to adjust thickness). I then take a pull through kitchen knife sharpener and use the base of the machine to stabilize it. Turn it on and let the move the sharpener closer to the blade until it starts to grind. You can repeat the process if you have coarse and fine sharpeners. Alternatively, they do make sharpeners for these which are basically a pull through sharpener shaped like a pen that will fit between the depth gauge and still be able to contact the blade. I didn't waste my money on that because I already have the other type of sharpener.

Contact a local print shop and find out who sharpens their blades for their machines. They should be able to direct you to a reputable company/person who can do it for you.

The clippings receptacle is the front of the sharpener.....grasp the plastic on each side and pull....its simple.

There's a blade sharpener directly attached right above the circular blade. You have to open it to apply it to the blade to use.

i've never looked to try and find. I think it could be disassembled, in order to sharpen the blades.
